Abstract

Walter Freeman was a wonderful person and a brilliant scientist. He had a profound understanding of neurophysiology, and beautifully designed experiments on the olfactory bulb of rodents. Though my point of departure was quite different, based on an interdisciplinary approach to complex systems, there was a remarkable convergence of our ideas on the way brains work.
